Glacial ice erosion will form: * Corries (cirques) * Aretes * Pyramidal Peaks * U-shaped troughs * Hanging Valleys * Truncated Spurs * Rouche Moutonees * Striations * Rock Steps Sediment deposition (resulting from glacial processes) will form: * Ice-transported boulders * Erratics * Lateral moraines * Medial moraines * Terminal moraines * Recessional moraines * Push moraines * Varves * Eskers * Delta kames * Kame terraces * Braided streams * Flat bottoms to U-shaped valleys

What kind of rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?
Landforms shaped or deposited by wind forces are described as aeolian.
How does a newly formed rock turn in to sediment?
Over a long period of time, the rock erodes into sediments. These sediments, along with pressure and water, form sedimentary rocks.
What is moraine erosion or deposition?
moraine is a sedimentary rock. All sedimentary rocks are formed from the deposition of eroded sediments, pebbles, boulders... etc. Morain is a glacial deposit. As a glacier moves over the land it erodes and transports bits of rock. When the glacier melts it deposits these bits of rock to form morain.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What is the compare between erosion and deposition?
erosion wears the rock away and depositon DEPOSITS the sediments

Water erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
sedimentary rocks :)
Wind erodes rock and deposits sediments to form what?
Piles of eroded sediments. Which may or may not become sedimentary rock over time.

What type of rock is made in caves?
Only deposits: sediments and calcite. A cave represents removal of rock, not its making.
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.

Why is surface water both a creator and a destroyer of sediments and sedimentary rocks?
Water chemically and mechanically weathers sedimentary rocks. It also weathers and erodes all rock types, transporting and depositing the sediments, a step in the formation of sedimentary rock.
What is a rock and how it is form?
A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, that is particles of preexisting rocks that have been broken down by weathering process and transported to new locations by water, ice or wind. The sediments accumulate over time as layers deposited parallel to the Earth's surface and, as they become buried by overlying deposits, they harden to form rock - sedimentary rock. During their deposition process, they may include burrows, shells or bones of living creatures and these become fossils as the sediments harden.
What is created as a result of the moving of rock and sediments?
The ultimate creation of moving rock and sediment is a sediment deposit. Sediment deposits can eventually lithify into sedimentary rock.
